Chapter 3 The damned.

Berthana awakened the next morning to find that she was alone. She sighed and walked to the window. Sitting on the sill she gazed out at the beautiful features of the morning even though all the people on earth were dead. All except her. Gazing out the window, the warmness of the suns rays shined upon her and only a few clouds hung in the air. Birds flowed through sky singing their merry tune.

On the bed she heard a little grumbling and then a loud wale. Turning around she looked as Bulma kicked her legs and tried to move,but couldn't. Berthana placed her hand over her mouth and giggled. At least there was one thing left on the earth that could make her smile. Standing she walked over and sat on the edge of the bed and watched as Bulma yawned and stretched. Berthana smiled and picked her up placing her on her shoulder. She carried her to the window sill and sat down on the cushioned sill.

"You know Bulma… you're the only thing on this earth that could make me smile. If I didn't have you, I'm sure I would have died along with my husband,'' she said lightly rubbing the babies cheek. Two big blue eyes stared back at her and looked as if they understood. Berthana smiled and pulled Bulma to her chest. "I love you Bulma-chan."

Bulma looked up at her mother and smiled gurgling. Berthana looked out the window and sighed. Life was going to be hard for her,but she knew she would survive, for if she didn't Bulma would surely die.

Standing up she walked into the bathroom and ran some water in the small baby tub. "Now its time for you to take a bath,'' she said smiling. Bulma frowned as her mother began to take her clothes off.

Berthana held Bulma in one arm and the craddle in another and carried her into the bedroom. Setting the bathtub on the floor she sat down as well and placed Bulma in the tub. At first she squirmed,but when the warm water touched her skin she settled down.

Berthana walked back into the bathroom and grabbed a wash cloth. When she walked back out she found an envelope right next to Bulma's tub.

Looking confusedly she sat back down on the floor next to Bulma's tub and eyed it over. Deciding to read it later she began bathing Bulma the look of confusion still on her face. She grabbed a dry towel after Bulma's bath and wrapped her in it. Walking into the closet she pulled out a little sunflower dress and another dress that was very identical. The only differences was the sizes and the bigger one was longer. Grabbing both dresses she sauntered back into the bedroom.

Eyeing Bulma she gasped when she saw another note and a petal of roses. Shaking her head she sat on the edge of the bed and began dressing Bulma. After they were both dressed, she walked over to the tub. Bending down she grabbed the first envelope and walked back to the bed sitting next to the other one. Laying Bulma down on her stomach she began rocking her. (AN: You know how mothers rock the babies booties so they'll go to sleep?) Picking up the first note she ran her finger nail through the seal opening it. It was a note from the king. Grunting in disgust she began to read.

Dearest Berthana,

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Akaisha is dead. Some vampires betrayed her and took her away from me. She went to New York thinking I was dead. You see after our little Discussion Akaisha found out and sliced me across the throat. I have told no one but you that I can defeat Akaisha. I am a sayian and sayians don't go down that easily.

Prince Vegeta is now 1 years old so that would make your little girl in sayian 1 as well. It's getting to that time, Berthana. Soon your daughter and my son will marry and then we will be together forever. I loved Akaisha, but as soon as I met you all that changed. I still want you. I will have you and Vegeta will have Bulma. Soon my love soon.

Your Love,

King Vegeta.

Folding the letter back up. She picked up the next letter ignoring the sweet smell of fresh roses.

Berthana,

I forgot to mention this in the last letter,but me and Vegeta must go back to our home planet. Even though we've been here for 5 years, it's time to move back. I know you hate me and you'll hate me even more,but I have decided that you shall come along with me or I can just stay on earth. Either way I'll have you.

King Vegeta

P. S: Please address me back with your answer. Also just leave the envelope on the bed. I'll pick it up later.

Putting the letter away she got a pin and paper and began to write the king back.

King Vegeta,

I'll be damned if I travel away from my home just to be your whore!! I will not raise my daughter in an alien world. I don't fantasize about you like you do me. Sorry to burst your bubble. Also that bitch Akaisha finally got what was coming to her.

She finally paid for hurting my beautiful face. I hate you and you will never be the father of my child. Take care of your own bastard, and leave mine be. She will not marry your vegetable head little brat. Don't write me back.

Sincerely,

Berthana

Folding the note up she placed it on the bed and laid down next to Bulma. Groaning deeply she looked at her sleeping daughter. She would prevent anything from ever happening to her. She would never give up anything she loved so dearly without a fight. Lightly rubbing her young girls soft cheek she fell into a deep rest.

*Dream *

Berthana looked over herself as she stood in a lush grass field. She was wearing a sphegetti strapped dress with a white flame wrapping around her small figure. Gazing staright ahead she saw she was standing in a fork in the road. One path looked dark and gloomy and the other path looked soft and peaceful. Looking back to the dark path her curiosity took over. 'I think I'll take the dark path.' Walking toward the path she began to have second thoughts, but her feet kept her going.

Looking around she noticed that everything was dead or dying. Looking away in disgust she kept moving. Her dress brushing against the hard stone floor as she walked gracefully. She soon came to a brick door. In the bricks was a hand print and in a foreign language she didn't even no she placed her hand on the door panel. "Ma noki sam lo chi na,'' she spoke. (An: I made this language up so work with me. Ma noki sam lo chi na means: I am here to find the answer.) She closed her eyes and pressed her hand firmer against the hard stone. "Ma noki sam lo mi no misna parel. (This means: I'm here to find what is mine.) The wall began to rumble and slowly opened. A bright light flashed out as the door opened.

Once it was completely opened she squinted and could make out a figure with long emerald blue hair. She gasped as the figure moved out of the bright light. "Bulma?''

The young woman before her smiled. "Mi. To ne she moloko fro niki lamoncho ski monto,'' she spoke. (Defenition: Yes. It is me my dear sweet mother.) Berthana walked forward and placed her hand out and touched her daughters face. "You look just like me,'' she said tears forming in her eyes.

Bulma nodded then frowned. "Mother. I have some bad news. It's of Camila." She said bowing her head. Berthana moved her hand away. Bulma looked up. "Do not worry mother, she is fine, but when we grow older around the age of 23 she will die…as will you,'' she said bowing her head. Berthana pulled away in pure shock, lost of words. When she could speak again she asked "When." Bulma looked away and sighed. "I'm sorry mother I can't tell you,'' she said looking back to her mother.

Looking at her ethereally she hugged her and moved back into the room. "Mother, if you go to Vegeta-sei with the king, you will die with no pain. If you don't there will be lots of pain for you and me. Onn moshi,'' she said. (Onn moshi means: Good Bye. Also I know moshi in Japense means hello, but I couldn't think of any other word.) Berthana watched as her daughter walked into the light. Soon the whole place fell into darkness and she stood alone.

* End of Dream *

Sitting straight up in bed she gasped for air. Taking a deep breath she placed her hand on her head groaned. The dream had felt so real and she could really feel Bulma's touch. Looking over at her daughter she saw she was awake and staring at her the same way the older Bulma did. She smiled and picked her up. "I'll go…but not for me…for you,'' she said hugging her. Bulma giggled and fell back to sleep in her mothers arms.

Berthana sighed as she heard her daughters soft snores and looked down at the bed. She rolled her eyes as she saw another note. Laying Bulma back down she picked up the note and opened it.

Berthana,

I care nothing of what you think of me and I'll be damned if I let you stay on this deserted planet. You leave me no choice so I will force you to go with me. You better have all your things ready by noon tomorrow for the ship will be leaving at 1:00.

Sincerely,

King and Prince Vegeta

Berthana crumbled the note up and through it to the trash can where it landed. She decided to write the king and tell him what she has decided.

Dear King,

I have decided to except your offer and go to Vegeta-sei, but on one condition. I refuse to be your whore and I will be shown respect. I will not be in the same room as you and you will have to force me to have sex with you because I refuse. I will never do such a thing like that.

I had one love and you took him away as well as all the other decent men. I won't be your whore Vegeta and that's final. My room will be clear across the castle from yours and I don't wish to have my baby in a room by herself.

If these things can work out then I will go to Vegeta-sei if not I will die here on my home planet.

Sincerely,

Berthana.

P.S: What about Camila?

She laid the letter on the desk and went to use the bathroom.

When she came back the note was gone and a blood red note lay where hers was. Picking it she read:

Dear Berthana,

I can't promise you anything. Also all I want to do is use your body once, then I'll leave you be. As for Camila she and ChiChi are already settled on the ship.

Sincerely,

King Vegeta

Berthana growled and through the letter to the floor. Grabbing a piece of paper she wrote in Scibbled cursive as big as she could:

I Refuse!!

She laid the note on the desk and grabbed Bulma walking into the bathroom until she knew the letter had been sent.

Then I have no choice,but to have you by force.

She read after leaving the bathroom. Once the letter was crumbled she laid Bulma back down on the bed and fell to a heep on the floor in broken sobs.

How was that? Plz review. Just to let you know I'm trying to make this at least 20-30 chapters.
